- Slot says the team made a lot of progression compared with last week. He gives credit to the players for how hard they worked and to the supporters, who he says made the high press far easier by pushing the team on.
- It is one of many examples this season of not scoring from the chances they created, Slot says, and the team is again far short of its expected goals. That has been an ongoing thing all season, he says.
I think there were parts in the second half where you could just feel, if we can score now, this is going to become a special night.
- Asked about the overturned penalty, Slot says they had too much luck last week and ran out of it here. Where there is contact and the referee gives it, he says, the on-field decision should stand. He says he was not surprised it went against them.
- On the forward who went off injured, Slot says it looks really bad from the clips but he cannot say how bad, and that it will be looked at properly the next day. Joe Gomez was not injured: he told the manager he was not sure he could keep sprinting, so the substitution changed.
- Slot says an early first-half change made a second substitution soon after the break awkward, so he took the striker off at the interval. He was twice close to scoring, Slot says, and he would not have played him at all had he thought he was not ready.
- Asked why so many chances go unconverted, Slot says he does not know what it is, and that it has been part of the whole season. One of the reasons for picking those two forwards, he says, is that both have proved they are goalscorers.
